Chapter 223 The boy is smart
Today's training only takes place in the morning, and the total training time is one and a half hours.
After a fifteen-minute warm-up, the team began training on offensive routines.
First, the assistant coach explained the specific training content to the eleven players participating in the training.
Chen Mo would hold a magnetic tactical board, use small chess pieces with magnets to change positions on the board, and tell the players how to run and pass.
Then let the players participating in the training go to the court and review the passing and running routes he just mentioned without any defense.
Finally, eleven players were called to act as opponents, and with defensive players, the offensive team was allowed to practice offensive routines.
Today's training content is all about offensive routines.
There are a total of three routines for everyone to train.
The first routine is to encourage full-backs to cross, requiring players to use the width of the field to make timely transfers and be good at taking advantage of the opponent's defensive weak side.
The second routine also encourages the full-backs to cross, but the focus is to use the space on the wings to compress the opponent's defense in the center.
The third routine was modified by Zhao Kangming after he specifically asked Chen Mo to do so. The training goal is to encourage players in the middle of the midfield to pull to the wings to pass the ball, and to encourage forwards to insert into the space behind the opponent to receive through balls, and to use the opponent's midfielder and defense to create an exploitable space.
After training the offensive routines, there will be a 45-minute eleven-man vs. eleven-man game. The game will be divided into three quarters, and one routine will be practiced in each quarter.
Generally speaking, which eleven people are selected for offensive routine training may be able to explain to some extent which eleven people will be the starters in the next game in the head coach's mind.
Although it is not 100% certain, the probability is very high. Even if there is an adjustment, it will only be a slight adjustment. The personnel adjustment in one or two positions is unlikely to make a general rotation of eleven people.
After all, the purpose of today's training is to allow the team to practice routines for the opponents in the next game. If it is replaced by another group of people before the game, what is the meaning of today's training?
So when the head coach selects players before training begins, everyone braces himself and hopes that he will be selected.
"Goalkeeper Yu Zhiming, center backs Li Tielin and Wang Guangwei, left back Liu Binwei, right back Zhang Hao..."
The names of these people are exactly the same as the starting lineup of the previous game, but the names have changed starting from the midfield.
"Midfielder Waters, Qin Lin, Leng Jinyu, Ma Wenyi."
Shi Junde was replaced by Qin Lin from the starting lineup. In addition, after Leng Jinyu came on the bench in the last game, he is also likely to return to the starting lineup in this game.
Shi Junde is a midfielder who is good at defense, while Leng Jinyu is better at offense than defense. Zhao Kangming made this arrangement in the last game because he needed the team to defend the goal in the away game and strive to draw the Eagles. Therefore, the midfielders are all players who are good at defense.
But against Kunyang City, if Flash Star wants to win, it naturally cannot arrange four defensive players in the midfield.
George Waters is one of the only two foreign players in the Flash Star team. He can play in the center or on the wing. He has a good long-range shot and is generally inclined to attack.
Qin Lin is both offensive and defensive. While defending, he is also responsible for organizing the offense. In other words, his main task is to organize the offense. After all, Zhang Qinghuan, who was originally responsible for this task for the team, is still in the detention center...
Leng Jinyu played from winger to midfielder. He is fast, good at breakthroughs and can pass. If the offense needs to be strengthened, he will definitely be needed to play.
Marvin has good physical strength, can run well, and has fierce movements. He is a midfield engineer with excellent defense. He has the same positioning as Shi Junde, but has stronger sweeping ability and greater defensive coverage than Shi Junde. When there is only one full-time defensive midfielder, Zhao Kangming will choose him first instead of Shi Junde.
This arrangement was reasonable and reasonable, but Shi Junde was still a little uncomfortable. When he heard that his name was not there, he curled his lips.
Next is the selection of the striker, which has no suspense.
Although the forwards of Flash Star are collectively trapped in various long-term and short-term goal droughts, only a few of them have the chance to play. As the team's current top scorer, foreign aid Macaulay Murphy can only Unless he is injured, he will definitely play.
And his partner is naturally Lai Zekai. No matter how far his goalscoring numbers drop this season, he will still start the game because no one else can perform better than him.
During this process, Zhao Kangming arranged for other forwards to take his place, but the performance of others was not much better than Lai Zekai... So no matter what, Lai Zekai is still the team's main forward.
"Forwards, Murphy and Hulay."
Originally, Lai Zekai planned to walk out of the team, but as soon as he took one step forward, he was stunned because when he realized, the head coach didn't call his name!
However, Hu Lai, who was in the team, ran out with a smile and walked into the team that was going to participate in training.
Not to mention Lai Zekai, even the other players were in disbelief at the head coach's decision.
Hu Lai has only joined the team for a week, is he about to start?
Isn't this a little too early?
Others thought of a rumor that Hu Lai and head coach Zhao Kangming were old acquaintances. At first they thought it was just nonsense, but now they suddenly believe it.
Because the head coach did it too obviously...
There are also people who are not surprised, such as Qin Lin and Wang Guangwei.
Wang Guangwei naturally knows Hu Lai's level very well, and is naturally not surprised by the head coach's arrangement. Anyway, several other forwards can't solve the problem, so why not let Hu Lai try?
Qin Lin was not surprised because he felt that there was something special about this boy named Hu Lai during his first training after coming to Flashing Star.
Since he can see it, there is no reason why Director Zhao, the head coach who knows Hu Lai better than himself, can't see it.
※※※
The training started soon. Lai Zekai stood on the sidelines and stared at Hu Lai on the court. He wanted to see what this kid was capable of. He had only been with the team for a week and was about to start...
After looking at it for a while, he shook his head.
To be honest, without defense and just asking everyone to move as required, he couldn't see anything outstanding about Hu Lai. Because there is no need to dodge the defense, there is no need to consider whether it is offside, no one interferes with the passing and receiving, just pass the ball and move according to the coach's requirements, there is no difficulty, any qualified player can do it.
Oh, yes, he is very active in forward penetration. He is always trying to find the space behind the opponent's defense... But there is no defensive player on the field now. Who knows if his aggressive forward penetration may have been offside long ago. Who knows what he is looking for. Is there really space behind you?
So what does this tell you? Nothing can be seen.
The three offensive routines were quickly trained, followed by actual practice in an eleven-on-eleven game.
Lai Zekai was not selected for the opponent's team, which was his wish. He wanted to stay off the court and take a good look at this kid's performance in the game.
After assistant coach Chen Mo blew the whistle, the teaching competition began.
Although it is a teaching game, it is impossible for both players to play according to the previous training routines. Both sides must make changes and adjustments according to the actual situation. The offensive team's routines only need to roughly follow the direction of developing the offense to the wing. The principle, how to develop it specifically, whether it is to pass the ball with two feet and then split the ball, or to pass it down a few times and then pass it to the wing, the coaches don't care.
For example, in this attack, right back Zhang Hao took the ball and tried to dribble forward, but was forced by the opponent's forward and full midfielder. He could only pass the football laterally to center back Li Tielin diagonally behind.
After Li Tielin caught the ball, he passed the football diagonally to his midfielder Ma Wenyi who retreated. Then Marvin passed the football to George Waters who was recovered in the middle. At the same time, the right back Zhang Hao began to advance forward.
However, Waters did not directly pass the football to Zhang Hao, because the opponent's defensive players reacted immediately. Someone stepped forward and stared at Zhang Hao. If Waters passed the ball, it would not let the team's If the offense is launched on the wing, it will lead to a dead end on the wing.
Under such circumstances, Hu Lai, who was playing forward in front, did not just stop in front and raise his hand to ask for the ball, waiting for his teammates to pass the football to him, but retreated to meet his teammates.
But instead of running directly back, he ran forward first, leading the defensive player Zhang Xiaolei who was following him, making the latter think that he was going directly forward, and then suddenly stopped, turned around and accelerated back to meet Waters.
This time, Zhang Xiaolei, who was defending him, immediately lost his defensive target.
Someone in the audience made a sound of admiration: "What a beautiful run..."
Obviously, everyone saw the cleverness of Hu Lai's movement this time - not everyone would run forward first and then retreat when retreating. Many people ran directly back to meet their teammates.
The response was a response, but the intention was too obvious and could easily be seen through by the opposing defensive player. Even if you retreat, there are defensive players around you. How can your teammates pass the football to you?
But Hu Lai can deceive the defensive players by taking two steps forward and then suddenly accelerating his retreat. Looks pretty simple, right? But not everyone can perform such a simple movement in the game. Many times, the difference between good players and average players lies in these seemingly simple details of running and handling the ball.
Although the opponent will definitely press forward again, this has given the retreating player a second or two of unmarked opportunity. As long as his teammates pass the ball in time, he can catch the ball calmly.
Maybe he was stuck by the opponent's defensive player after catching the ball, but the player who just took the ball could move freely. For example, what about the gap left by running towards the defensive player? The team's offense may have been revitalized in this way, instead of like before, the player holding the ball was unable to pass the ball when facing his teammates who were retreating and the defensive players who came with him, causing the team's forward offensive to get stuck. This place...
Head coach Zhao Kangming off the court smiled slightly when he saw Hu Lai's movement. This was not taught by him and Chen Mo. This way of running is just like physical instinct for Hu Lai...
After getting rid of Zhang Xiaolei, Hu Lai hooked Waters while retreating, and Waters also passed the ball in time.
When Hu Lai caught the ball, he looked back at the situation behind him and found that Zhang Xiaolei had come forward again, so he didn't stop the ball and directly knocked the football horizontally to Qin Lin who was getting in.
After passing the ball, Hu Lai quickly turned around and ran towards the penalty area.
Zhang Xiaolei could only turn around and return to defense. After all, he is a central defender. If he does not return to defense in time, there will be loopholes in the penalty area.
After Qin Lin adjusted the ball passed to him by Hu Lai, he saw a huge space on the right wing, and Zhang Hao had already picked up the speed and sprinted with all his strength. Because the football was moving towards the center, the full-back who came up to defend him was also attracted to the center. When he came to his senses, Zhang Hao had already appeared behind him!
Qin Lin immediately made a diagonal pass, and the football flew into the space outside the penalty area on the right side.
In fact, when Hu Lai retreated to catch the ball, another forward Murphy began to run into the penalty area. He ran diagonally forward.
At the same time, Leng Jinyu from the left side of the midfield also moved forward and pressed into the penalty area.
Their forward press brought the entire defensive backline back.
After passing the ball, Qin Lin also ran forward decisively. In addition, the defenders behind him, as well as Waters and Marvin Yi, all pressed forward collectively, covering the space left by the offensive players.
The tactics require forward pressing coverage not only to provide support for the team's offense, but also to counterattack immediately once the ball is lost, or to delay the opponent's counterattack.
Zhang Xiaolei, who was quickly returning to defense, suddenly noticed that Hu Lai had slowed down and even stopped when he was about to run to the penalty arc.
Why not just rush into the penalty area? The middle of the penalty area is empty now!
But Zhang Xiaolei didn't bother to think carefully. Instead, he glanced at Hu Lai and accelerated into the penalty area. Since this kid gave up on his own initiative, he could just fill the gap.
Qin Lin, who was moving forward after passing the ball, also noticed Hu Lai's sudden deceleration. He also just glanced at Hu Lai, ran into the penalty area, left Hu Lai behind, and then resolutely inserted into the middle, facing Zhang Xiaolei. And go.
On the right wing, Zhang Hao had already received the ball. He looked up and glanced into the penalty area.
Murphy makes an aggressive run forward and takes out a centre-back. In addition, Zhang Xiaolei, who just ran to defend Hu Lai, also just ran back to the penalty area and was quickly getting into position.
In addition, Leng Jinyu was entangled with the opponent's right back at the back point.
Brother Lin ran in, rushed to the door in one breath, and stood next to Zhang Xiaolei who had just taken his seat...
Seeing this situation, Zhang Hao had no intention of passing the ball directly. If he passes the ball like this, it will most likely be difficult to threaten the opponent's goal.
So he chose to continue dribbling towards the opponent's penalty area, forcing the opponent's already established defense to change.
On the defensive side, the left back was returning to defend, but it was too late. A midfielder who was returning to defend came up to cover.
While leading the football towards the opponent's penalty area, Zhang Hao kept looking up.
He found that Hu Lai, who should have appeared in the penalty area a long time ago, had just run into the penalty area. Seeing him dribbling the ball into the penalty area, he put his hands in front of him and spread his lower fingers, making a gesture for Zhang Hao to pass the ball to him. gesture.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Hao immediately realized that this was the only receiving point in the penalty area that had not been targeted by the defender!
So he no longer hesitated and passed the ball in an inverted triangle, sweeping the football towards the center!
At the same time as Zhang Hao passed the ball, Hu Lai suddenly accelerated and sprinted towards the football, throwing away the defensive midfielder who was returning behind him.
With no one marking him, he swung his right foot against the football rolling towards the ground.
The ball is here, the feet are here!
Bang!
The defending goalkeeper Tang Xin waved his arm but did not touch the football...
The football has flown into the goal behind him!
"Beautiful!" someone shouted from the sidelines and clapped.
Qin Lin turned back to Hu Lai and raised his hand, went up to give him a high-five: "You ran smart!"
Hu Lai smiled: "That's because Brother Lin helped me withstand their central defender..."
Qin Lin was a little surprised: "Did you see it?"
Hu Lai smiled and said nothing.
So Qin Lin also smiled.
Strike partner Macaulay Murphy also gave Hulay a thumbs up and said in simple Chinese: "Good shot!"
Hu Lai gave him a thumbs up.
Off the court, many players who did not participate in the training also praised and applauded Hu Lai's goal.
Although it was just a goal in training, everyone was not an outsider. As professional players, they could naturally see what Hu Lai reflected in this goal. Beautiful movement, decisive passing, change of rhythm after pushing forward, finally appearing in an unmarked place, calmly shooting...
During this process, he has remained calm, which is even more valuable for young players.
In Qin Lin's eyes, this is the "sense of disobedience" that he cared about before. Hu Lai's understanding of the game in training is not like that of a young man who has never played in a first-team game...
But it doesn't matter. Qin Lin doesn't care why Hu Lai behaves like this. How can you be sure about talent?
Lai Zekai looked around and smelled a hint of crisis in the applause and cheers of his teammates around him. He frowned and his expression became solemn.
Although this is just one of Hu Lai's performances in training, it is also just one of his many similar performances in today's training...
From these training and teaching games, he found that this young man felt very good in front of the goal, and he was very confident whether running or shooting.
As a forward who has scored double-digit goals in a single season, he knows what this means all too well.
His poor performance this season actually has a lot to do with his loss of confidence.
When a forward fails to score goals in a row, no matter how good his performance was before, his confidence will leave him. To be honest, he is now full of envy and jealousy of the confident Hu Lai...
He suddenly thought of something and turned his attention to head coach Zhao Kangming on the sidelines.
When he saw the smile on Zhao Kangming's face, his heart sank. (End of chapter)
